Throw the gates wide open

Always being told you are wrong growing up puts pressure on masking to always try to be right and gives an all-or-nothing thinking.

It is OK to not be perfect. It is something I have recently accepted about myself, and hope others can as well. 🩷

"What's your gender?" "Well..."

Shouldn't it be the other way? The gender staying a girl under boy conditions, until given a shock to then become a boy?

If you go from girl to boy without changing temperature, you are moving horizontally from right to left, crossing the boundary from girl to boy, but without nucliation sites the transition does not occur.

Same with water going left stays water until given a shock to become ice by changing temperature to be supercooled past the transition line.

I feel like this in everything I do. I'm trying the trick of "force yourself to cheer when you do something, when if small", but it just feels like I'm lying to myself. How do you get out of this hole?

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

While I don't want to support weapons, blaming people that bought the vr headset in the past for what he would do with the money after the sale is a very bad take. You can't blame them for not knowing the future.

Also the argument itself doesn't make much sense and can be strawmaned to "you pay taxes, therefore you are a complicit in the murders of your military, therefore you are a bad person".

No, because there are error bars on "things", and "everyone", and "knows", and on "by the time they are 30".

This means that statistically, following a Bell curve on where people land based on this, there will be some that will be much older, and much younger that have heard of a specific thing to the point of "knowing" it.

Adhd kids get told negative things way more often that other kids, and that is traumatic. Undiagnosed Adhd leads to anxiety and depression because of it, which makes it very similar to ptsd. But since it's chronic and over a long time period, it is separate from ptsd, as the cause is Adhd, and not the trauma itself.

To add to this. The sensory experience of showers is a lot.

  1. being comfortable in your warm clothes
  2. having to take them off to get cold
  3. having to get wet and warm
  4. having to dry yourself with a rough (ish) towel
  5. Getting cold again
  6. Damp air makes it harder to breathe
  7. Putting on different clothes which potentially feels different from the used ones
  8. Getting out of the bathroom to non-humid air
  9. Coldness of the remaining water (hair etc) evaporating

I also have sound sensitivities, so the sound of water hitting the floor is also disturbing.
